A whopping 99% of CEOs in a recent survey expect to see AI-driven layoffs by 2028.
That stark prediction comes from a study that surveyed over 1,500 executives across various industries, and it paints a bleak picture for many workers. The news has caught the attention of financial expert Suze Orman, who’s issuing a blunt warning to “invisible” workers – those in entry-level positions who are most likely to be replaced by AI.
AI-Driven Job Cuts: A Future Reality?
Artificial intelligence has been touted as the future of the workplace, but its potential impact on employment is a dark reality that’s starting to sink in. For many, AI is no longer just a theoretical threat to job security – it’s a very real and imminent danger.
The survey, which was conducted by a leading industry research firm, found that nearly all executives (99%) expect AI to displace jobs within the next five years. But what does this mean for the average worker?
The Future of Entry-Level Positions
Orman’s warning is aimed squarely at the “invisible” workers who often fly under the radar in terms of job security. These entry-level positions are the ones most likely to be automated, and Orman is urging workers to take immediate action to protect themselves.
“The next five years will be a wild ride for workers everywhere,” Orman said in a statement. “AI is going to change the game, and those who are not prepared will find themselves caught off guard.”
What This Means for Workers
In practical terms, this means that workers in entry-level positions need to start thinking about their long-term prospects. Whether it’s upskilling, reskilling, or simply being proactive about career development, the writing is on the wall – AI is coming for some jobs, and it’s up to workers to take control of their own futures.
For those who are not prepared, the consequences could be severe. But for those who are proactive, there’s still time to adapt and thrive in an AI-driven economy.
